Four No More

Twenty two years. That's how many years Bobby & I have been together. That's four more than my parents were married. And during that time we've almost always been four. Four meaning a family of four. We never had the dating phase, or the engagement phase, or the great newlywed phase most couples have. Jay was  eight months old when we started dating. And then we were blessed with Matt shortly after. We didn't always do things in the right order, but we did it. It wasn't always easy, but we did it. And I wouldn't change a single thing about the road we have traveled. And literally traveled is what we've done. Especially lately.

I am typing this from beautiful Charleston, South Carolina. In the last 10 months we have went from living in Nashville, Tennessee, to packing and planning for a move to Australia (that promptly came to a halt), to a 5 month Oregon layover, and now a permanent move to South Carolina.

We have raised our boys (raised being a loose term). We have spent timeless hours on late night science projects and homework. I have had too many sleepless nights to count. Nights that I spent holding a sick boy that just needed his mom to feel better. And I was always okay with that. Bobby spent countless days and nights on soccer fields, basketball courts, and baseball fields. All of that time coaching. Coaching and teaching not just our two boys but countless numbers of other kids. If you are reading this and you are a parent then you understand. You understand the sacrifice that we all make as good parents. The list is endless.

So here we are. Four no more. Now it's just us two.

This weekend starts my attempt to venture out in this new city and state and find fun things for us to do, just us two. We have a lot of time to make up for. I am going out armed with my camera in hopes of getting some great shots of our weekend adventures. I will do my best to document all of the fun on this blog. So get ready to see Charleston, South Carolina (and surrounding areas). Here we go..........
